wikiHow:Administrator Notice Board

This is the wikiHow Administrator Notice Board (ANB). Please leave a detailed message about a serious problem that requires prompt attention from an Administrator.

The goal of admin intervention is to prevent ongoing damage to the wiki or mission; blocks are not designed to be punitive. If an editor has not continued vandalizing or spamming after warnings, there's generally no need to report it here. Most of the time, best practices are to give the editor a couple of heads-up messages about any issues that could just be misunderstandings, provide a warning if they continue doing harm, ignore any trolling attempts, and only report if it's an ongoing, escalating issue where the editor has continued violating guidelines for a significant period of time beyond initial contact.

Please review the directions for the other sections and be sure that you know that there are no sections to report what you are reporting before posting here.

Can this thread be closed? The user who started it was explicitly asked not to create new chat threads and has been leaving rude messages for admins and other users (on-wiki and on the forums) who have asked him to refrain from doing so. Galactic Radiance (talk) 19:57, 13 December 2017 (GMT)
